Who Killed Lawrence of Arabia?

Screening with Director Q&A

Tue 12 Nov 2024

A new film based on the book, Who Killed Lawrence of Arabia?, by director Mark J T Griffin.

Who Killed Lawrence of Arabia? is a feature length documentary which provides an in-depth investigation into the motorcycle crash which ended the life of T.E. Lawrence, aka Lawrence of Arabia. Uncovering compelling evidence, Mark JT Griffin believes it proves Lawrence’s crash was no accident, but an assassination.

Expert input is provided by historians and investigators Andrew Gough, Rev. Lionel Fanthorpe, Niall Cooper, motorcycle expert Julian Amos, probability expert Paul Swift, writers and T.E. Lawrence experts Jan Woolf and Mark J.T. Griffin, and Senior Lecturer in Arab studies, Feras Alkabani. The documentary is narrated by Russell Biles.

To support the story, it includes drama footage from Lawrence: After Arabia – a    full-length feature film, shot in Dorset, which was released in October 2021. The film starred Hugh Fraser, Michael Maloney and Nicole Cox, with the voice of Brian Cox and Tom Barber Duffy. The film won 32 awards at 20 festivals including, Best Picture, Audience Award, Special Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Song and Best Soundtrack. The documentary is made by the same filmmakers.

Based on the non-fiction book called “Who Killed Lawrence of Arabia” published in August 2022, it delves deeply into the crash, approaching the death as a murder – who would benefit and who had the means, motive and opportunity to remove Lawrence?

The documentary follows the same approach, investigating Lawrence’s fatal crash, his death and the aftermath. Through investigation and document examination, it reveals a plethora of evidence for an assassination, but none for an accident – challenging the official story.

The documentary is contemporary and relevant, directly connecting Lawrence’s military campaign a century ago in the Middle East, to the current ongoing conflict.
